HELPING - ONE BALE AT A TIME: Ranchers on the Great Plains are recovering from wildfires that scorched hundreds of thousands of acres of cattle country last month. In the vast plains of western Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, ranchers have devised a system to make sure the cattle that survived the blaze still have enough to eat. Farmers and ranchers from around the country are donating bales of hay and volunteering to distribute it to ranchers in need. Learn more by reading the article below:

In Fire-Scorched Oklahoma, Help Comes One Bale at a Time Wildfires burned Oklahoma grazing land, leaving ranchers struggling to feed their cattle. Then the truckloads of hay showed up from faraway states.
